1 SuOuAu, n1tcI buc kuc5b5,
| pause for moment and express the pleas
ure which a brief visit to your State
has afforded Us. / am told, too,
| that Terre Haute is one of the most
beautiful cities of which Indiana can boast
and this causes me to regret that / know
so little about it and have so little oppor-
tunity now to see it. The fact that this
particular neighborhood forms the richest
portion OF very rich and productive State,
| is a cause of congratulation which doubt
less you fully appreciate; but Of all your
| products, perhaps the most widely known
| is the tall sycamore of the Wabash" for
| this place has been pretty well advertised
as the home of that particular tree. Dur
| ing the last two and half years l have be-
come somewhat acquainted with sycamore
and have made up my mind that il has
height enough and size enough for any
| locality or for any purpose.
The name OF your city indicates its
beautiful and commanding location, the
rich and fertile country all about it, its ex-
cellent means of transportation and COM
municatioD, and its extensive manufac-
| tories and industries already in operation,
| deprive its citizens of any excuse If it
| shall not further expand and prosper.
1.-THE kind greeting and hearty welcome
which have been accorded us by the citi-
Zens Of Indiana make Us feel that we are
parting with friends, and we shall remem-
Der none among them with more grateful
| pleasure than the people of Terre Haute."
Upon the conclusion of the speeches the
visitors were escorted again to their car
riages, and as soon as they could be freed
| from the multitude, drove rapidly to the
| depot and took the train for st. Louis.
THE TRIP TO ST. LOUIS.
ST. LOUIS, October 1.-The train left
Terre Hsute fifty-six minutes late. AS it
moved of hundred hands were stretched
| upward and their owners sought to follow
the train, many clinging to the railing and
clamorlpg for the coveted grasp. mo-"
said the President, ''Il shake no hands
| frem a moving train; some of you
will get killed or hurt / want
| no such responsibility" During and
| after dinner there was an interchange of
novel experiences. Col. Lamont, Mr..
Bissell and DR.. Bryant had been impris.
oned upon the stand after the speech MAX
| ing, and for ten minutes or more were nm
able TO move limb. The artist and the
two journalists had suffered a similar mis-
| fortune at the stand and again at the
station, finally reaching the train with
aching ribs and disordered apparel. The
President and Mrs. Cleveland had suf-
: fered no personal inconvenience, but
were delayed at one point briefly, the
leading horses of their carriages having
become so frightened by the artillery dis
charge and the shouting multitude that it
was necessary to detach them. On the way
to the station, q middle aged enthusiast
grasped the Presidents carriage from be-
hind. The driver whipped up and tried to
leave him, but in vain. The Presidents es.
cort ordered the man away but he energet-
ically refused. Two or three of the mount
ed men tried to ride him down, but he
cursed them savagely and refused to bulge.
Mrs. Cleveland turned to him aud said:
"Please let go SIR" aud the fellow dropped
off as If shot and skunk away in the dark.

ARRIVED AT EAST ST. LOUIS.
The President arrived at East ST. Louis
at 14:45 p. M, and alighted at the Eastern
abutment of the bridge on the Illinois side
of the river, where he was met by the
citizens committee. The dungeon walls
kept out the crowd and gave ample space
for the party to get into their carriages
without crush. Mayor Francis accompan-
led the President and his wife, and with a
guard of twenty police, the party started
across the bridge at brisk trot. The ap-
pearance of the party on the bridge was
the signal for burst of cheers and a glare
of fire works. The walks of the bridge
were crowded with people, who followed
the carriage on the run. A banner
stretched across the bride at the
Missouri line gave Welcome to Missouri
At the entrance to the city dense mass
of people almost blocked the road. but
charge OF the mounted police cleared the
way, and the cheers, already great, swelled
| into an ovation as the party passed the
gates at the western end of the bridge.
The beauty of the city, resplendent in q
perfect night, illuminated by
Of scarlet, green, amber, white
and blue, and decorated in profusion
with bunting, opened to view as an orien-
tai festival. Before the President blazed
transparency of himself, and on the
streets to bis left hung the transpareucies
of Grant and Lincoln. AS the carriages
rolled upon the granite streets the horses
started on more rapid gait and the crowd
sWayed back to let them pass and then
joined in the run to cheer them on. For a
dozen blocks an unbroken line Of people
stood on either side and poured forth a
| volume of sound as one voice. Leaving
the crowd behind, the psrty turned from
Washington avenue and drove out Lucas
Place to the home of Mayor Francis, at
Vandeventer Place, whose guests the Pres
| ident and his wife will remain until Mon
day. Tomorrow they will attend services

Church, Rev. J. n. Brookes, ID. D., pastor.
